History:

The first products from Meridian were the 101 pre amplifier, the 45W 103 power amplifier and the M1, an active loudspeaker system. In 1984, Meridian produced the world’s first audiophile-quality Compact Disc player, the MCD. Meridian went on to release the world’s first digital surround processor and a string of other “firsts” then followed.

Meridian continue to manufacture not just domestic hi-fi equipment including Loudspeakers, DACs, Power Amplifiers, CD players, Surround Sound systems, Digital Preamplifiers and Accessories but also in-car audio systems for  McLaren, Jaguar Land Rover and Ferrari.

This manufacturer was suggested by Howard Craven.
